Five important things a man must learn in life !!!

Top 5 is tricky. I will try to keep them to things that tend to be a particular challenge to men.

Do not accept that girls or women have less aptitude or that men are designed to conquer the world. You may have a daughter one day that could conquer the world. That could be your daughter being minimised and patronised. Wouldn’t you want her to be accepted for her potential rather than according to the baggage of the society we live in?
People are less interested in you than you think. They are just as obsessed about themselves as you are about yourself. So stop thinking they are all thinking about you, your performance, how witty you are, etc. How self-involved are you? Get out of yourself and start taking an interest in others. They will be glad to be noticed, and you will learn (if you bother to listen)
Health is for life, not just for bagging a partner. Get fit for you and how you feel, and for the respect of your own body, and the interest may well just come naturally anyway.
Children are people, not little pieces of clay for you to mould into objects that fulfil all the dreams you didn’t get around to. They are not just like you. They are their own people, and you are there to have the privilege of watching them grow into their potential, with a little nudge here and there to help them overcome their stumbles and self-doubts.
Being strong is also knowing when to be vulnerable and give access to your weak spots. Allowing yourself to be hurt rather than just retreating to the man-cave. This level of trust requires an immense inner strength, and honest introspection. Do not shy away from it. Like muscle fibres being shredded and rebuilt stronger and more robust than before, in that weakness is the seed of your future strength.

And remember: You are not just a man…You are a person, too.

The exchange rate rebounded on Friday to close at N308 at the official interbank market. The local currency gained about 5.2% reversing the N325 it closed with on Thursday.
